| It will not do to have too many
arguments In speaking oh political
matters. Abuse and ealmuuv have
been considered as very efficient wea
pons in advocating any political doctrine.
Just now, the no powerful j
weapon, laughter, has been used with
apparently great sticcoss. Whether
the cau^e of truth is advanced, we are :
very much in doubt, but if tiae laugh i
goes against a speaker, his advocacy ]
fall* to the ground. We ail pretend 1
to seek and love the truth, but a gowd
laugh puts to flight many wise savings
and destroys tinny structures of
thought.
The Farmers' Institute.
The FarrnyiV Intitule will be held
on the tir?t Tuesday and Wednesday

fourth meeting of the Institute and we
hope it will be as well attended and
the exhibits be as lull and various as

of our people tegether 1* rivalry is
the art of production Las an advantage
far beyond the premiums be
stowed. The science or art of agriculture
is of all branches of human
industry the one we are most ignorant
?of. The value of knowledge consists
in the quality of precision and this
quality we need especially in agriculture.
"What will the harvest be", is
continually tbe question of the farmer.
The factors of rain, sunshine, moisture
and cold cannot be held down to
mathematical quantity?s> rauch is
thin tbe case, that the proverb current
with Solomon is applicable to-day, "he
that rcjrardeth tiie clouds shall not
reap". The best manner yf advancing
agriculture is by companion of the
practical results obtained round about
us. What cnu be produced here, at
our doors, in our lields, is of the most
value to us. This mode of bringing
from different parts of our county its
various productions make us realize
the wonderful variety nature has
given us?makes one persou who has
failed in one crop take neari at uie
success of another person in a different
crop.
The social pleasure of meeting together
aud exchanging; idea* and ask?f
iug about and caring for one another's
welfare gives new zest to life aud
makes many self-imposed burden of
anxiety fall from one's shoulders.
Besides, tae producer, the man who
has brought iato being a natural
product, has a right t? feel pride and
satisfaction at bis sncce??. Bob Ingersoil
says, "A man who has done a
decent action wants to tell it". If this
be so, 'tis certainly natural and moat
conmendable in a man to want to communicate
his knowledge of and power
over nature.
We wish much success to the Institute
and b#lieve that our people will
help it forward as a useful and pleasure
giving organization auiong us.
STRAWS FROX STKOTUEK.

After the cold,{dreary, damp summer,
wbicb we can never forger, we have
never seen more *ieligl:tlul weather
than the golden days e>f the past week:
Tve caji safely say that autum has begun
vrith weather which stirs tiie blood
like wine. With the exception of a
few weeks of hot weather, we cannot
recall anything that would justify us
in complaining of enervating weather, j
Comparatively speaking we have not
had the summer to which South Caroliaians
look forward with dread.
Not one ofour farmers iu this section
has sold cotten, and we fear the "fleecy
staple*' will be scarce, and the price is
utterly discouraging.
Mr. A. W. Ladd gave a picuic an<2

A OltKAT CITY.
W is at h Former Citizen ha* to *:iy of
Atlanta.
Atlanta, Ga., September 22.?
Special: I will give you1* many readers
u brief synopsis of the marvelous
growth and commercial importance
of the (Jute City of the South.
On every hand art; visible the perseverance
and energy that goes to
make Atlanta the most progressive
city in the South. Her wholesale merchants
do an extensive business, both
in the city and the surrounding country.
' i">?i iftovtio/1 l?v fniivfrsimr with
some of the railroad officials that freight
on the various roads running to and
from the city are not near so volumi;
nous as has been heretofore at this
season of the year; some attribute it to
the economy that is being practiced by
: the farmers of Georgia and elsewhere.
| Notwithstanding that one impediment
to the future prosperity of the city,
; her enterprising business men are
Making strenous effort to help her in
the front rank of the most cnterprisj
ing business centres. The Legislature,
I which has been in session since the
I 8th of August, has not yet adjourned;
; some of the members say it. will per!
haps not adjourn within a month. I
; ain not familiar with the laws that
I have been enacted by the present session
except one <*r two.
The State hns imposed an additional
license of $iU0 on ail whiskey retailers
in the State.
Your correspondent h:ul the pleasure
of hearing (.ol. L. F., the president
of the State Alliance, address tin:
j members of both houses of the Legj
islature. lie dwelt ?n some of the
j important questions, some of which I
will mention. The disposition ?uf the
State press to misrepresent him on
some of the leading questions. He
also refuted the false report of his
having- recently affiliated himself witli
j the Third Party and expressed himsell
I as being strenuously opposed to the
j new political movement. He also
! dwelt to some extent on unity and cooperation
among the white people, in
order to maintain white supremacy
and an economically administered
State government; otherwise we might
be named Dennis, aud driven to the
I wall by the ignorant masses we have
! to contend with and whose name
i would then be Eli. The Colonel also
; deroteci some time to an explanation
j of the sub-treasury and other in.porI
tant measures. He was repeatedly
| applauded during' the delivery of his
i speech.
While listening' to the speaking yeui
correspondent's attention was called
j to the presence of Sara Jones, wh? was
standing near by in the door of the
! hall. The writer had ncrer before
j seen the famous preacher, but at once
! agreed that lie bore a faint resemblance
i t? Gov. Tillman. The outlines of hi?
I visage countenance would impress the
most casual observer, that he is a man
of indomitable will, energy and determination.
The visitor cannot help being attracted
by the appearance of the new
capitol buildings, which 1 am told were
: built on the same stvie of the National
! Capitol, and is certainly a magnificent
I piece of architecture and cost the State
j over $1,000,000. While strolling
through the different departments ot
the building the writer chanced tu
observe some very large oil paintings,
life size, and on entering the room
distinguished them separately, as
George "Washington, Alexander Stephens
and How el! Cobb, who wa.?
| once .speaker or congress, unci x?en
j Hill. That of Stephens represented
hiwi in his invalid wheel chair, witli
pen in hand and manuscript on j
I table in front of him. That of Hill
| was more striking in appearence,
i standing erect with arm elevated above
'hisheadand index linger pointing tc
! the Heavens, as if he was making an
! appropriate gesture during the dej
livory of a sublime oration, or in the
j excitement of a political discussion
| during his term ??f service in the Sen!
ate. lie was the most entrepid dej
claiiner a*d eloquent speaker that ever
sat iti that august assembly of representative
American statesmen, a man
who was worthy to have been called
the peer of Calhoun, Clay and Webster,
for it was he who rose triumphant
in the American Senate and
j crushed the injurious Yankee down
; with his burning work of eloquence,
j and wrote those notes that kindled the
i tires of hope here and elsewhere. I
j fear vour many readers will think me
i rather eulogistic, but I cannot forbear
! writing as I have written. He who
I woukfnot be enthused with patriotism
i whil? standing in the presence of that
| group of pictures of distinguished
I ia?n who did so much for both Church
j aad Stat# would certainly be very
' tallous-hearted; men who shed a lust re
[ over all with whom they came in coni
tact, and left their impress indelliabiy
i upon the minds of the American
! people.
j However, I have deviated from the
course I intend to pursue in this article.
There eeenas to be som? dissatisfaction
on account of the present
! Legislature not accepting the soldiers'
houso. 1 have not yet seen the house,
but have heard it spoken of very
highly by ?everal who have visited it,
for which the old veterans are very
much indebted to toe lamented 11. >v .
Grady, who -was most instrumental
with both pen and voice .in formulating:
a plan by which the disabled soldiers
might be cared for in their declining
years, "Peace on earth and
good will to all men" would be an
appropriate epitaph to inscribe on his
tomb, for his whole life-work was devoted
to the alleviation of the oppressed
condition of his unfortunate
fello\vinan. now dead in one sense of
the word, but yet liveth in the hearts
of his countrymen, for his name is a
synonym in every household of the
Empire State of the Soutn.
The visitor cannot help being impressed
with the hurry of the people
to and fro as they pass up and down
ihe streets on errands of business;
they walk or drive as if time wa<
precious. They also have the be>t
railroad and street car facilities.
Electricity i< now taking the place of
the mule in the street car traffic.
Every important street in the city has
a line of street ears thai are propelled
between their respective places by
electricity. It is almost useless to fay
anything of the splendid railroad
facilities of which all are aware. The
?ini1 aI't):/?!"?!
road, which will be another trunk line
fr?m North to South ami EasttoWesf,
will be completed by Christmas and
will be a competing' line with th? A
C. division of the 1(. & D. railroad.
For fear I have tresspassed 011
your valuable space, [ will not write
any more, for this is my first at writing
a discripttVe letter and hope this
effort. though however incorrect it may
be. will not be a contribution to the
waste basket. 1:. 1:. .1.

JEFFA KES REPLIES TO PLEHS.
Messrs. EditorI have recently seen
i :ia issue of the Advocate in which
j there i> an article from Mr. I'Jcbs in
reply to my last communication in
j Tiik Xkaws axi> Herald. Mr. Plebs
i pars lie cannot s?'-e wherein he has misi
represented n;?-. I will explain, if
pos<ihle, wherein iho mi-representaj
tion originated. I si i lie commence*
| ment ot hU tir.-t article he ?:tid that I
! nad branded some of the demand of
the Alliance as i:iiqui:ous. I admit
j that construction; for to Use a dramatical
expression would be in the singular
I number and wnald not include all the
! demands, and ?i little further on in his
I
| first pices he says a* a useuibur o? the
| Alliance he wished t? take i.-.-ue with
' me, when j:> lie said I branded the
! demand.-* of the order as Iniquitous
j and putting the latter expression in
th'" plural number ansi thus leaving
(the public 10 draw their inference
I from i!.e latter, hs well as the formtr
j sentence. Mr. Pleb* says, in answer
! ing his questions, I have asked him
! some also, and I aw very sorry he did i
| not answer my questions explicitly? j
: | the first one 1 wiil quote here in order
j that it may be easily understood.
I Does the sub-treasury propose to make
! any provisions for the man who has
1 j no landed property to give as collat-1
jerai? Mr. Plrbs srys the demand of!
j the Alliance known as the sub-treasury i
i is not intended to benefit any particu!
lar persons, be they rich or poor, but'
> I if carried out as contemplated all
classes will fee! the influence." Of
, course all classes will feel the influence,
but just here let me ask what
; eflect will that influence have? Can
' you solve the question? I fear that

Now there are a large per cent of the
land already under tnodgigc, and
. ; there is also a lur?tr per cent of I'ariueis
that would not Miortjagi! their land on
. any conditions. consequently tV*ui 'lie
above statements y#?u can very easily
i infer that then: are three classes ot
' farmers that ?ould not receive any
money under the land moifga?e s\*?I
tern. New is it just and proper t*
compel tho.?e thi>e classes to pay an
' indirect, tax to the government for
' building the warehouses tor which the
! bill provides? Is that equal rights to
all and special privileges to none?
' Now, Mr. Plcbs, there is a large per
| cent of farmers who work their own
land and alter hiring their labor atul
paving the current expenses of their
| farms would not, if eighty per rent of
their er?ps were left to them, be able
to pay the expenses incurred in mak|
ingthe crop and then hare enough left
[ to buy the supplier that their families
ate compelled to have, as I have already
said, from October to March. They
could not do otherwise than sell at its
market value, would tiixr class be
bftiifiiited bv the i>ronosed legislation?
Of coui8!.', there is not enough ui?ney
in circulation to handle the great crops
that are made, but, mr friend, if there
were only tour in place of eighr million
hales of cotton made, we would
eventually get as much uionoy for four
million as we are now getting for eight
million bale?1.
The law of supply and demand regu{
late the price of cotton to some extent,
I et me illustrate as follows: Suppose
| I have ten melons for sale and there is
' twenty men who can eon Mime the
i whole ten, atid I ask 25 cents for each
: melon I will realize $2.50, but it there
i ia> only ten meu thai will consume live
j melons, why of course I would then
I only realize SI.25, and thus you see
I that theory would hold good in regard
to the amount of money we receive for
i our cotton crop. And L say if there,
i was only four million bales of cotton
I made the capitalist would be hunting
i it, and we would not be compelled to
sell it on a glutted market at a sacri|
fice.
Mr. Plebs quotes Mr. Edward At;
kinson to some extent. Now any
j man who contracts to deliver 100
I bushels of grain for a debt and by act
| of Congress is enabled to settle it for
j 75 bushels is a knave and apolitical
{ demagogue, lie think* the trick of
i paying debts with 75cet< ?n ihe dollar
j of silver under unlimited free coinage i
! legal tender standard dollars would
: soon he found out. AH 5his mean* i
i that unlimited free coinage of ?ilrer,
j in Mr. Atkinson's opinion, is a con-1
! s pi racy on tuc part of a few citizens |
| to swindle the whole country and that |
the conspiracy did not succeed. He |
i to* loses sight of the prestidiginarun j
trick ot Kinblcniatical legal tender j
i paper ami storage, both concomitants j
I in th" common swindle proposed, ami. ;
which Mr. Atkinson wouid pronounce
! an economic robbery of the people,
not equaled in anv of their previous
j currency alllictions. 1 nr? one J
will think 1 am opposed to !iee coinage j
of silver, a> I saul heretofore; 1 am in !
i favor of free coinage if it can be made j
j at par with gold.
Some time ago the general govern-1

bills. Why could the yovornmenf not I
let that siiyer stay in the hunds of the j
people ami i->ue >ilv.er bills to tiio poor I

speculater I think not, when it is put
on the market would the capitalist not
have a?vess to it then, and don't vou
suppose the government or private
individuals would sell to whosoever
would give them the highest price:
Of course they "would, and the capitalist
having the most money would
be the victor, and to the victor belongs
the spoils. 2S~ow, Mr. Plcbs, if the
capitalist did not have an opportunity
to speculate on tke grain crops, and
other products of the Western farmers,
wouldn't those Western farmers take
advantage of the occasion by hsldiug
it off the market until they had expended
eighty per cent of the crop
then deoosited? It is very unfortunate
and ought not to be so; but it is
nevertheless true that we of the South
are, to a very great extent, ucpemiew
on tlie grain-growers of the Northwest
for our daily food. Would it be
wisp for us, through ur representatives
in Congress, to assist that section
in getting a measure enacted that
would enable its farmers to deposit
their grain in Government warehouses,
and deprive ns of it until we arc
forced to pay fancy prices for it?
1 lave tliev heretofore proved such disinterested
friends of the South that
we could afford to trust them with
such a power over us? Were they not
among the most energetic and persevering
in the prosecution of the war,
and in hewing their way through to
the Gulf? Have they not generally
been among the most relentless partisans
against the South since the war
closed? Did they not just last year
assist in passing that infamous sectional
tariffbill, known as the McKinley
bill? And did we not hare a special
I>roof ?f their liberality and good
faith towards the South" last year in
the United States Senate, when our
i Southern Senators joined them in securing
free twine i'or their grain and
when their Senators refused to join
ours in securing free bagging or free
ties for our cotton?
Now, Mr. Plebs, the sub-treasury men
say. Oh! just let the Government
issue more money, and the tariff will
be a thing of the past. I)o they ever
stop talking and just think for one
moment the amount we are paying indirectly
to the manufacturer every
time we buy an article? Let us take
statistics, and ligures never lie. Be1

! there was already a duty on cotton
j lies;, and almost every other article we
consumed, that bill put an additional
tarift'tax on cotton ties to the amount
! of twenty-live cents per hale, now for
the calculation at eight millions bales,
which would amount to $2,000,000.
. Just think of that, my friend, if those
Northwestern men had been so intensely
interested in our future
welfare they would hare recipro.
cated by giving us that and several
other articles free ?f duty. And by
that we would have had several mil!
lion more dollars as a circulating
medium in the South. If Mr. Plebs
| wants to know how that evil can be
removed, I'll give him my opinion in
| my next communication. lie seems
; t0 have been very much amused at
! some of the sentiments my letter centaiued;
I will say this in regard to
i some of the answers he ga ve to some
| of my questions?that they were certainly
very inconsistent with the question
I asked and I was somewhat
amazed at the answers he gave for
thev were almost transparent to say
the best you can of them. My friend
seems to think the negro is no longer
a dangerous ciemem in pontics. 1
cannot agree witli him; the negro is
yet a potent factor in American politics
and will remain so as long as the
national Republican party is in power.
The negro is both imitative and submissive,
but not inventive, and the
superiority of the white race over the
black is not transient and artificial,
but permanent and real and I will do
as much as anybody to maintain white
supremacy, however, that is aside
from the subject at issue. I will not
write much more in this article. In
conclusion I will say that we should all
have consolation to know that there is
neither rank nor prerogative nor station
in the republic of the grave. At this final
threshhokl the philosoher ceases to be
wise, and the song of the poet is silent.
The rich man relinquishes his millions
and poor man his rags. The poor man
is as rich as the rich man and the rich man
is as poor as the pauper. The debtor
is acquitted of his obligation and the
invalid need no physician, and the
labourer re-.ts from unrequited toil.
^\'e are fast shuffling oft" the stage of
human action and. here at last is nature's
final decree in the laws of equity.

"For years I hare been subject to constipation

have become convinced that Ayer's rills are
the best. They invariably restore the liver to
healthy action in a very short time; and I am
sure my system retains its tone longer after the

SAM .JOXES OX RAILROADS.
Mtxsm. Editors: You would oblige j
j me by publishing the following parts j
' | of a communication to the Atlanta!
Constitution by Rev. Sam Jones. It is :
chock-full of hard horse-sense, a com-1
modity that ought to be brought to I
. the front these record breaking times, j
G. 1L McMastek. 1
j The Vanderbuilt and Pennsylvania j
, j railroads combine a network of rail-;
! j roads stretching almost orer half the
United States, give the best equipped j
i lines, the fastest trains, the most, rea- j
: soiuible rates of anv railroad in the I
{ world. "What the South needs is not I
the dismemberment of railroads ami j
the bankruptcy of her corporations, j
but such friendly consideration and j
wise legislation as will conserve their j
interest and develop their resources j
until the southern states shall have as ;
magnificent railroads as New York, j
Pennsylvania, Ohio. Illinois, etc.
I may not have eyes to see rightly !
nor ears to hear wisely, but surely I!
have had opportunity to see and hear,
as I have covered most of tiie ground;
from Maine to California, and Canada (
to the gulf. I am candid when 1 say j
that this warfare on our railroads and I
corporations have done us infinitely j
more harm than all other things com- >
bined, for when you depress and ham- j
mer down southern securities to the!
point where our bankers cannot hy-j
pothecate them in New York to get!
money to move our cotton crop, then j
it's time to call a halt. Central rail-:
road stock 12G one month and eighty- ]
six the next not because Wall street is
011 the rampage, but because of home
warfare on combines, etc. To mr ,
mind the Richmond and Danville
Railroad Company is doing its best to
! jive us the best service on the most
reasonable terms. It is to their in- i
tcrest to do so, and the men running j;
i /.Aimnwil !mi oi-n \vijn ?m.l sntrn- ! :

cions. The Nashville and Chat-!
tanooga. which leased the Western and 1 <
Atlantic, will sown have the A Vest em 11
and Atlautic as thoroughly equipped : J
as the line from Chattanooga to Xash- [ i
ville. then we will have one of the best i;
equipped and managed roads in the i
United States running to our capital. ]
j and already the Richmond and Dan- \
j rille is reaching the same proportion. i
1'lie greatest prosperity f have seen ]
in America is along the line of the |
prosperous and well managed rail- ]
roads. Tlie two are interdependent, j.
! If you will shew me one prospering!;
without the other then you will show j
me a sight I have not looked upon in i I
my peregrinations. 1 have said these j 1
j things, Uv. Editor, because they were
| on iny mind and heart. I pav more
fare to railroads than any private
(citizen in this couutry, and had rather
pay fare on first-class railroads than
I go free on those where accident in!
surance is necessary.
J know it is unwise to push this
I battle further against railroads, and .
if those in authority shall think and
I tinio [ .id nnil will de
! monstrate who was wise and who was i
foolish. Yours truly,
Sam P. Joxks. j
J P. S.?These times of stringency
j will soon pass away, and wise lefis-1
lation and friendly relations will usher
upon the South an era of prosperity
such as no section under the sun ever
leajoyed. Let's treat railroads and all
J other corporations as we would private
' individuals, remembering' that right is
I stronger than might, and that "wisdom,
; justice and moderation" arc the three
j pillars on which our constitution and
I laws must rest. s. i\ j.
